Wonder what the cross wind limits and minimum approach speed for a Casa 212 is..?
Given enough cross wind, one could almost land across the runway if flying a near STOL plane.
The news clip above however states the crash was caused by an hydraulic failure
Initial speculation, based on observations of a single eyewitness, indicates that the crash resulted from a fault in the plane’s hydraulics, a fault so great that not even the skills or noteworthy determination of Lt. Fernández could save its passengers from their fate.
